Best Teeth Aligner 2021

Home » Our Blog » Best Teeth Aligner 2021

Are you searching for the “Best teeth aligner 2021?” Orthodontic treatment aligns the teeth and jaws, improving oral health and one’s appearance. But, is one type of treatment better? Let’s look at the facts.

What is the Best Teeth Aligner 2021?

According to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), the best treatment is “the kind performed by an orthodontist.” Now, that may sound a little funny, but it means that an orthodontist has the education, training, and experience to perfect smiles using many types of orthodontic treatments.

After closely assessing your unique smile, an orthodontist designs a custom plan to get the best results possible. At Mill Creek Orthodontics, we will work with you to create a unique plan that works perfectly for you and your lifestyle. Thus, the “best teeth aligner 2021” will be the one you and your orthodontist decide on together.

Dr. Markus Niepraschk is a proud member of the AAO, the American Dental Association, and the Virginia Dental Association. After dental school, he completed a two-year orthodontic residency program. During these years, he focused on the best practices to align the teeth and jaws with treatments like braces and Invisalign.

As a Virginia native, he loves helping people of all ages in the Charlottesville community get their dream smiles comfortably and affordably.

A Wide Variety of Treatment Options

Today, braces are advanced, discreet, efficient, and more comfortable. At Mill Creek Orthodontics, we choose clear ceramic, or traditional metal, depending on your needs. With clear ceramic, only the thin archwire is visible, with brackets that match your tooth color. With colorful braces, you can express your style, changing elastics to a rainbow of colors.

Today, Invisalign offers a discreet and flexible treatment option. Throughout treatment, you can remove the aligners to eat, drink and brush your teeth. For those who are candidates for Invisalign, you can eat your favorite foods. However, you must also be careful to wear your aligners for 22 hours a day or more and protect them whenever you take them out.

Often, patients may have the option of either braces or Invisalign. In other cases, the orthodontist may determine that braces will be the best route for treatment. For example, in cases of advanced correction, braces may sometimes be a better choice.

Kadee H.
Mill Creek ortho was a great experience for me as an adult with braces, I have brought my kids here for their treatment as well. They are always so kind, welcoming and accommodating. Their space is always clean and comfortable. My kids have enjoyed their treatment here and the ice cream is always a special treat for them as well. Quick and organized appointments and we have never had to wait long from start to finish.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to us that you’ve trusted our team with both your own orthodontic care and your children’s treatment. We’re so glad to hear that you’ve felt comfortable and well cared for throughout your experience, because that’s exactly what we strive for with every patient.

It’s especially wonderful to know your kids enjoy their visits (and the ice cream). Creating a welcoming, efficient, and positive environment for families is very important to us, so your kind words really mean a lot. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to continuing to care for your family! - Dr. Markus and the MCO team!

Extremely kind and kept making sure I was okay! They were so welcoming and made me laugh so much! They helped me to be excited about having braces!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Zoe!!! It's so important to us that our patients have fun at their appointments! We appreciate your kind words. - Dr. Markus and the team
Benjamin R.
3 of our kids go to see Dr. Markus, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very fun. It is just a comfortable and welcoming office. The kids love the ice cream they get to choose at the end of the appointment. I would highly recommend them for braces journey.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Dr. Rowland! That means a lot to us coming from another professional. We love treating your family and are glad to hear they love their smiles. - Dr. Markus and the team
Rachel H.
Mill Creek is a great spot! Big fan! Getting braces as a 38yo mother of three was not on my radar at all, so let’s just say I was less than thrilled when my dentist referred me. BUT Doc and his fabulous team were rockstars from day one and made the experience as enjoyable as it could be with their kind demeanor, knowledgeable tips/advice, and delicious ice cream at every appointment! You won’t regret choosing Mill Creek.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We know that starting orthodontic treatment as an adult (especially with a busy life and family) can feel unexpected, so it truly means a lot to hear that our team helped make the experience a positive one for you.

We’re so glad you felt supported every step of the way, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to Doc and the entire team, they’ll be thrilled! And of course, we’re happy the ice cream didn’t hurt either 😊

Thank you again for trusting us with your smile. We’re so grateful to have you as part of the Mill Creek family! - Dr. Markus and the MCO team!
